Back to the beginning

This is an example that just does not work - OK laugh but once I get through the basics I'll be playing all night.

' Name : BLINKXU.pbp
' Compiler : PICBASIC PRO Compiler 2.6
' Assembler : MPASM
' Target PIC : PIC18F4550 or similar type
' Hardware : LAB-XUSB Experimenter Board
' Oscillator : 20MHz external
' Keywords : FOR NEXT
' Description : PICBASIC PRO program to blink an LED connected

' Define LOADER_USED to allow use of the boot loader.
' This will not affect normal program operation.


' RESET_ORG can be set to move the BASIC program out of the way

' Microchip USB boot loader
'Define RESET_ORG 800h

#config
_config _mclre_on & _CP_OFF & _WDT_OFF
#endconfig


mainloop:
high porta.1 ' Turn on LED connected to PORTD.0 <----- SYNTAX ERROR
Pause 500 ' Delay for .5 seconds
Low porta.0 ' Turn off LED connected to PORTD.0
Pause 500 ' Delay for .5 seconds
Goto mainloop ' Go back to loop and blink LED forever

End


Although the comments box states that it is for a PIC18F452 the selection box on the compiler is set to 12F509.

Even if the poor 12F509 does not have enough memory for the task in hand I shouldn't get syntax errors ?

Doesn't compile due to your wrong CONFIG ...

so; moreover, it can't be programmed into the chip ...

Hi,
The PIC12F509 doesn't have a PortA and therefor no TRISA or PortA registers, so you get an error when you try to access things which are not available.

/Henrik.

[AndyFreestone]

Thanks Henrik,

How does PBP3 address the single port of the 12F509?

Andy

I, probably wrongly, assumed that it would use TRISA.

I did try to edit the sample program for the 18F452 just to change the outputs but nothing changed. We'll leave that problem again until later.

[HenrikOlsson]

As it does with any other register - by the registers name, which on the 12F509 is either PortB or GPIO for the actual port and TRISB or TRISGPIO for the "direction".
You know, assumption is the mother of all f**k-ups so never assume anything - a simple look at the datasheet for the device would have told you that there is no PortA.

Again way over my current knowledge. How do I address THE PORT in PBP3 ?

[HenrikOlsson]

Like I said, on the 12F509 THE PORT is named PortB or GPIO not PortA.
Otherwise you had it right - HIGH PortB.0 or HIGH GPIO.0 instead of HIGH PortA.0

EDIT: I'm sorry, make that GPIO.0 only, PortB was for the 12F605 only which share the same datasheet.

OK - how should it read ?

I'm trying a real basic 12F509 to start with but for convenience I also have 12F629, 16F684, 16F506, 16F722 and loads of 18F45K22's

[Demon]

... I also have ... loads of 18F45K22's

This is for PBP 2.60c, so only the syntax for CONFIG changes.

EDIT: It's for a 18F44K22, but it is the smaller brother of the 18F45K22; same pinouts. I'm looking at it working right now, so it's good to go.
